Are you saying that you have post categories assigned to posts and to a
custom post type? And that you want to use get_categories() to retrieve the
categories for the custom post type?

If so, you are probably not using them correctly. If categories apply to
both posts and a custom post type, it doesn't make sense to request a list
of just the ones assigned to a particular post type.

And if some category terms only apply to the custom post type, then you
probably should have created a custom taxonomy for that custom post type.
Then get_categories() could be used to retrieve the terms for just that
custom post type via it's custom taxonomy.
